Must remember that five o’clock, P. M., every
Jav 9 the latest hour for receiving their adver
tising favors, for publication the ensuing morning
return our thanks to be agent of
Adams’ Express Company, for a copy of the Non
Vork Herald, of Tuesday, in advance of the mail.
Ahead of the “Associated Press.”
The “ New York Associated Press” was sadly
U-ft in the back ground, in sending forward the
news hr the Canada and Fulton. The Charleston j
papers yesterday did not contain a line of the news, ;
while the Augusta press received it on Wednesday
night between eleven and twelve o'clock, and ;
spread it before their readers early on Thursday .
morning. So much for our independent arrange- j
ment with Mr. Abbot.
Virginia Know Nothings.
A convention of the Know Nothing party of ir
jinia met at Staunton, on the 6th inst. Speeches |
and “ brief remarks" were indulged in, to a con
siderable extent, but great care was adopted to
prevent any reference to the platform of the Phila
delphia Convention. However, when the name ol
the “ Hon John Minor Potts, of the city of Rich
mond,'’ was recommended as au elector, the ap
plausewas “loud and continued.” This was, com- j
paratively, a mere straw', but the floating straw ai- i
forded evidence of the direction the stream was .
coursing. u . „ i
As a specimen of some portions of the “ hnet j
remarks" made by delegates, we extract the fol
lowing. made in favor of endorsing the nom.na- ,
uons of Fillmore and Donelson, w.thottf any
reference to a Philadelphia platform :
-Mr. Gilmer, of Albemarle, said th it is plat
form enough for all creation. (L-mg Per.'. Mi.
Fillmore is the greatest man in the natiou-the
irrearest man in the world. Loud laughter). T hat
f s platform enough for me, any liow. though 1
‘.'ui readv to go for anything to kill up Demo- |
era. y. Laughter). It must be constitutional,
however.” I
Mr. Gilmer also stated that his friend Col. J. S. j
Anderson, of Botetourt county, said he wanted an
office, but “he must wait a little while, and be pa- i
tient.’aod be shall have an office.” Mr. G. then
moved that Mr. A. H. H. Stuart, who had been Scc
reiarv of the Interior under the administration of 1
Mr. Fillmore, should be called to the stand to ad
Jtvss the Convention, “as there can be no doubi j
mu he has had his speech oozing out through his j
finger’s ends for the last hour.”
Mr. Stuart responded to the invitation, and l
made a long address to that body. The New York
fl raid savs, “he presented a clean bill for the posi- ;
tive election of Mr. Fillmore by a majority of ele
ven of the whole electoral vote of the Union -
giving him the following States, to-wit: Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, ;
Xorih Carolina, Louisiana, Missouri, (here he bo
oms to scatter,) California, Delaware, Texas and
Florida. The strongest part of all is, in speakin_
for the American party of Virginia at their Stan .
Convention, that Mr. Stuart should have left on: 1
‘til 2 Old Dominion’ from his catalogue. Perhaps, •
however, had lie ventured so far, his listener.- :
would have liad their misgivings concerning New
York and Pennsylvania. Good rule, that, in tra
veling a doubtful road to halt at the lirst lodging
place for the night.”
The first and second resolutions adopted by the
Convention, ratified the nominations of Fillmore
and Donelson.
The third resolution was as follows :
3. That this Convention do most emphatically
condemn those features of the Kansas-Nebraska
bill which recognise the principle of *quaiter sov
ereignty, and the rights of foreigners to vote im
mediately upon their making a declaration of thei:
purpose to become, at a future day, citizens of the
Territories; believing, as we do, that those fea
tures are not only in violation of the principles oi
our naturalization laws, but eminently calculate;!
to create dissension in the Territories, and ensure
the ascendancy of the anti-slavery sentiment in
every Territorv which may hereafter be formed
out <’f the public domain of the United Slates.
This resolution was a severe rebel, to Mr. Fjli.
more, but the Convention did not think of that.
There was some opposition to the adoption ol
the third resolution, but the influence of the “com
bined Councils” of Richmond and “the Hon.
John Minor Butts” prevailed, and the secret black
was as stealthily thrust into the Kansas-Nebraska
act, as the murderous bnbet was sent into the bnd\
of Sheriff Jones by the concealed assassin at Law
rence, in Kansas.
Verily, the canvass for Millard Fillmore and
Andrew J. Donelsox, is opening with but little
encouragement for the South, and her hopes in
Kansas.
l-sf' Miss Pkllett delivered a k-eiure on Nica
ragua at Savannah last evening.
Gov. Johnson arrived in Savannah from
Brunswick on Wednesday last.
Zdtf" Miss Louise Reeder’s “Evenings with the
Poets” is highly complimented in the Montgom
erv papers, but thinly patronized by audiences.

Fif” The Supreme Court of Georgia meets in

By reference to our special notice column,
it will be seen that a vacancy will soon occur, foi
a State Cadet from the -th Congressional District.
This timely notice is given, to enable the people it
all the counties interested, and who desire to do
so, to make an application.
We notice that the Hou. S. A. Smith, of
the third Congressional District of Tennessee, ha
signified bis intention of resigning his -eat in
Congress, at the close of the pre- *n session. Mr.
Smith sustains an enviable position in ‘he Demo
cratic party, and yve trust that his voluntary re
iiracy to private life will be of short duration.
The Hughes Priming Telegraph Instru
ment, wv see stated, is now completed. It is
thought it will work an entire revolution in tole
grapning throughout the world. That is a mailer
which time aud experience have to determine. If
it is really an improvement, we welcome it, and
shall soon look forward to bear of its achieve
ments.
1-C?” Col. IV. F. W right, recently stated in a pub
lic speech in Pikt county, that “during hi» sojourn
in the Territory of Kansas, which was one month,
littcen hundred southern emigrants arrived and
only three hundred Abolitionists.” If this ratio
of emigration is continued during the balauee ot
the year, the pro-slaverv party will be immensely
in the majority.
'■sf It is stated that Lord Clarendonanswer
to Mr. Marct, received by the Asia, covers fifty
pages of diplomatic paper. He discredits our tes
timony against the Minister and Consuls. The
reply of Mr. Marct will he forwarded few
days, and it is probable Mr. Ccamiton will simul
taneously receive his passports. It is not imptob
ft. le Mr. Dallas trill receive his in London, when
i: Is known Mr. Crampton has been discredited
here.
We see it stated also, tr.a- the French Minister
has been exerting himself ;o elTeci a better under
standing between the two Governments
:-*y a correspondent of the Charleston Courier,
bom Beaufort, under date of 13th ins:., savs
“A most striking evidence of the difference be
tween the crops of this year and the last U this •
I was feeding on the Ist of last June on millet
which was growing most luxuriantly, and to-day
it is not three inches high, though planted in
March.”
All other crops are reported as equally back
ward.
Current News of the Day.
There is a vast deal of very unreliable news, nn- j
dulating through the newspapers and over the
wires of the country. Mr. Champtox has* been on
the eve of dismissal several times—Sheriff - Jones
has been shot dead, and partially restored, and :
then about to expire, aDd again convalescent, and
finally in no immediate danger. And so with |
many other subjects of interest to the reading
public. In the anxiety to obtain early and relia
ble information, we are often deceived. It is suffi
cient to state, that we live in a fast age, when elec
tric news, steam presses, and railroad teams, can
not tarry for such dull and reliable details as are
embodied in diplomatic intercourse, unless they
follow on after the most luscious and savory por
tions have been consumed and almost forgotten, i
However, we prepare our banquet, and of “such
as it is,” our readers are respectfully invited to 1
“ help themselves.”
We received at a very late hour on Wednesdav
night, the news by the arrivals of the steamships
Canada and Fulton. The commercial news by the |
Canada, as late as the 10th May* from Liverpool, >
exhibited a very healthy condition of business, j
The political news by the Fulton is more of a
speciously conciliatory character, than really so; :
for Lord Clarendon says that the British Minister i
! and Consuls are “ gentlemen of unimpeachable !
| honor and integrity,” and they declare that they
have not violated the neutrality laws of the United
States— and Lord Clarendon also says that our
own countrymen who testified against the Minister
and Consuls, are unworthy of credit. This kind
of “ample satisfaction” can hardly be considered j
1 so very acceptable from the noble Earl.
It is somewhat unaccountable liow Lord Clares- j
don can justify Mr. Crampton, when he knew that ;
this Government had Mr. Crampton’s own auto- j
graph letters, giving instructions as to the enlist- ;
ment of men, and confirming his direct complici- !
ty in the violation of our neutrality laws.
England evidently has a bundle of troubles at ,
home as Parliament has been prorogued, aud 1
whether her vexed relations with the United States j
may not be one of the reasons which has caused j
an extension of their legislative sessions, we are 1
not prepared to state. The Whig and Tory par
ties of that country are in very embittered relation
to each other; and the battles of the Crimean
war have again to be fought in Parliament, and
the lavish expenditures of that campaign tvith its
fruitless results, will pass in panoramic view Be
fore the representatives of the realm.
The Queen of England has granted an amnesty
to all persons convicted of political offences, who j
have not escaped from her dominions ; but several j
anticipated this great act of her Queenly clemency,
and are now enjoying the privileges of a Republi
can government, without hanks to Queen Vic.
Affairs in Kuusas are certainly in a very unsatis
factory condition. It is uncertain how soon the
News may be conveyed by the wires, of the
existence of active civil war in that Territory. The
United States troops are on the spot, to preserve j
order and enforce the laws ; but the strong probe.- i
bilitv exists, that the free State men will urge a j
conflict, because they can see no hope to realize
their unholy ends by other means. We refer our
readers, for particulars, to such telegraph reports j
is have reached us, aud which may be found in j
another column.
We- see it stated that well executed counterfeit I
'lo bills of the Bank of Georgetown, are in eireti

At a meeting of the American Medical Associa
tion, held recently at Detroit, its committee t<
inquire into the bc3t mode of rendering the tneff
j cal patronage of the National Government tributa
ry to the honor and improvement of the profession,
made a report in which they denounced the prac
ice of granting patents by the United States
Government for quack medicines. They state,
j however, that a letter from the present Comaiis
sioner of Patents intimates that the practice of the
j itfiee has been to discourage such use of its func
! tions, and that during the last fifteen years but
i four or five of such patents have been granted,
j though some twenty or thirty applications per
1 year have been made therefor.
Th# Rev. Mr. Snyder, of Amelia county, Vir
! gtnia, has been appointed to tin* chair of matlie

. A delegation of five Seminoles and seven Creek
j Indians, from the Indian Territory west, of Arkan
j sas, met at the Indian Bureau in Washington Citv
: in Monday l»->t. The business of the former re*
lutes chiefly to an attempt to obtain a separate
tribal organization, being now attached to the
Creek Nation. They will also probably assist in
concerting measures to bring about, if possible, the
; peaceable removal West of their brethren in Flo
! rida.

M. Barbour, of New York, and Gen. James Ham

i A grand encampment is to take place at Chicago
! from the first to the fifth of July. The military

thousand persons, military and others, will visit
Chicago on this occasion.
The last St. Paul (Minuesto Democrat savs:
“We claim the election of Mr. I! decker, the
’ Democratic candidate for Mayor, at th.* charter
election on Tuesday last, as a decided victor.' on
the part of the Democracy, over all the elements
of the opposition, united, as thei were, in the
| support of a so-called people's ticket."
The Know Nothing State Council of Michigan
met on the 6th inst., repudiated the Philadelphia
j proceedings, and appointed delegates to the Know
Nothing split convention to be held in New York.
Judge McLfan is out in a letter, in which he
; takes the ground that Congress has the power to
prohibit, but not to establish slavery in a Territo
ry. This is taken as au admission that he is will
ing to be the Republican nominee for the I’resi
| dency.
Messrs. Price and Sterrrtt, nominated on the
i American Electoral ticket iu Virginia, have de
! cliaed on the ground that they are “ Old Line
| Whigs.” They say they will vote for Mr. Fillmore
but cannot identify themselves with the new or
i ganization.
A Convention of delegates representing the
Homoeopathic physicians of the Western .States,
met recently at Indianapolis, and organized au as
sociation, whose objects are stated to be tbs ad
vancement of medical education, journalism, etc.
tile subject of establishing a quarterly medical
journal was fully discussed and referred to a com
mittee, v. ith instructions to collect subscriptions
and adopt all the requisite measures,
Mr. Cramoiou’s Explanation.
We notice, iu the scores of letters ami dispatches
sent from Washington, to different publishers
throughout the country, so much about Mr. j
Crampton, and ?o much iu relation to his remarks
about Mr. Clayton, that it is ev. n a relsef to find
some attempt at s vindication of his conduct and
language. We find tn a Washington despatch to
the New Vork Tribune, the following:
“Mr. Cramp; >u explains the issue of veracity by
saying that Mr. Clayton called on him to examine
some old English Maps on which Ruatan and Ja
maica were d signaled and colored in the same
wap, whereupon Mr, Clayton admitted that both
were evidently British possessions. It is very
clear liow the misappreh usion might have oc
curred w that iustance, but the explanation does
niirf c V, Vcr ’ bs k’ oi nta involved in Mr. Crittenden’s
cow th,, d l 'n - o ;_ ro, mrimonß. It is supposed
now that he wiU make a publication.”
The Prospects of the New Crop.
The Montgomery Mail, of the 20th instant, in
dulg sin the following gloomy speculations in :
relation to the prospects of the forthcoming cotton
crop:
There certainly has not been, for years, a sea- I
son so unpromising for the cotton crops of plan- i
ters who cultivate river and prarie lands, as the ■
present. The light soils have stood the adversi
ties of the season much bettor. The region pro
ductive and gem rally reliable, from which this
market draws its supplies, is bound to yield a very
short crop this fall, even if things go right hereaf
ter. \\ hy even to-day, the 20th of May, there is
cotton seed Iving,ye>-c/a iu the ridges—and hardlv
a planter has a stand of feeble, sicklv weed. Cold j
nights, with occasional showers of very cold rain— I
(there never was, by tfie bye, as much injury from
hatl.m any one season, in Alabama, before )—are
doing the work of destruction. We note that the
dissatisfaction among planters is increasing.
Many of them remark that a gradual change in
our spring seasons has been going on for some i
years, and the alteration is especially unfavorable
to the culture of cotton, his more marked this;
spring than ever before. I
The River—High Water.— Tfie Vieksbuig
B/i of Thursday, 15th inst., says:
The river at this point continues 1o rise rapid
ly and the “King of Floods” rolls on ia resistless
grandeur bearing on his bosom the wreck of
many a lofty tree, whose giant branches hare
withstood the storms of ages in the far North and
W est lu a word, the surface of the river is
thickly covered with driftwood of every descrip
tion, ami the question, ‘tshall we have au overflow?”
is last becoming one of intense interest. We do not
feel authorized to say that there will be an over
flow, but we advise our friends who are liable to
the danger, to make all their arrangements with
that view, and, above all things, to neglect uo pre
caution that mat- be necessary to secure their
levees. Ol one thing we are certain, that over
flow or no overflow, the levees on the river will
oe severely tested, and we sincerely trust that
they may stand firmly the trying ordeal to which
they are likely to be subjected.’
Tiie Sumter (Atnerieus) Republican, of
21st inst., publishes the following chapter of cas
ualities which have recently occurred in that lo

A negro girl, about seventeen years of age, the
property* of Mr. A. A. Willett, of this place, was
so shockingly burned by her clothing taking fire,
whilst engaged in washing on last Monday week,
that she died a day or two afterwards.
On last Saturday, during the thunder storm, a
negro boy and mule, the property of Wm. Ram
sey, of this county, were struck bv lightning and
instantly killed.
On ttio same day, the new dwelling of Mr.
George Smith, of trie Variety Works, was blown
down.

Worth Knowing.—Professor W ood,
i whose advertisement will be found in another col- ;
umn, has discovered a remedy for the gray aud
the bald, which is at once practicable and cheap. 1
Tt requires no dyeing, no wig, nor extraordinary
trouble. There can be no doubt whatever of its i
; efficacy. We have seen testimonials almost with
out number, and from men of great intelligence,
| high standing and moral worth.
I hose wuo have been bald for years, are now
wearing their own hair, and appear ten years
younger than they did six months ago. As in most
cases gray hairs and bald heads are both prema
ture and unnatural, it is a duty to remedy them by
the natural aud undoubted means which Professor
W ood has invented, and now kindly offers to the
afflicted. Read his advertisement, try his wonder
ful remodv, and give the Professor a uew testimo
nial.—Memphis Whig.

I' ** Dailey’s Magical Pain Extractor.—
1 here never has been a discovery made in Materia
j Medica, whereby pain can be so quickly allayed,
! ind where parts in a high state of inflammation
| can be so rapidly reduced to their natural state,
. ucr where wounds aud sores can be so tlioroughli
| ind rapidly healed, and decayed parts restored
! without either scar or defect, than with DALLEY S
| MAGICAL PAIN EXTRACTOR.
In Cuts, Wounds, Sprains and Bruises—casual
ties to which children are constantly subject—the
action of the genuine DALLEY’S PAIN EXTRAC
TOR is ever the same ! How much pain and suf
fering may not thus be prevented .’ Moreover, life
itself is often dependent upon having at hand the
genuine HALLEY’S EXTRACTOR, and for par

No case of Burns and Scald, n» matter how se

of the HALLEY’S PAIN EXTRACTOR.

! Veni! Vidi! Vici 1 The memorable
i exclamation of the renowned Roman Conqueror
: might, with the greatest propriety, be uttered bv
Dr. Rhodes, for with his “ Fever and Ague Cure’’ i
he has accomplished a greater conquest than evei
wreathed with laurel crown the brow of Csesur.
“ Peace hath her victories, no loss renewed than
war,” and no greater triumph was ever achieved
by chemical skill than the production of this great
remedy for the malarious diseases which afflict our ■
western country.
it is surely a nobler ambition to alleviate the
miseries of the human race by destroying disease,
than to inflict additional suflferiug by the desolating
scourge of war—and he who saves one life is great
er than ho who destroys thousands. The article in
question possesses the peculiar property of com
pletely neutralizing the effects of those poisonous
vapors which induce Fever and Ague, aud, bv its
unvarying success, hilly establishes its claim to
the title of a perfect antidote to malaria.
It is powerful for good, harmless for evil. One
trial will commend it to your approbation,
